An Introduction to Multimodal Methods for Researching Digital Data – 17th January 2013

Digital data can provide a rich but also challenging empirical basis for social science research. Multimodality offers theoretical and methodological frameworks for analyzing these data. Focusing on the social interaction captured and/or shaped by digital technologies multimodality attends to all forms of representation and communication, including language, body posture, gaze, and moving image.

This course is aimed at postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers, early career researchers, and academics who want an introduction to multimodality and with an interest in how multimodal methods can be applied to digital data. No previous knowledge of visual or multimodal research is required
